Dillon EDXtreme (Old) - Manual (Page 8)

8 EDxtreme User Instructions
To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), place the machine on a surface which
is ergonomically satisfactory to the user. Take frequent breaks during prolonged usage.
1.6 Sharp objects
Do not use sharp objects such as screwdrivers or long fingernails to operate the keys.
1.7 FCC and EMC declarations of compliance
1.7.1 Modifications
The FCC states that any changes or modifications to this device that are not expressly
approved by Dillon may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
1.7.2 Radio Safety
The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such manner that the potential for
human contact during normal operation is minimized.
When connecting an external antenna to the device, the antenna shall be placed in
such a manner to minimize the potential for human contact during normal operation. In
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits,
human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 3 inch (7.5 cm) during normal
operation. The antenna is located at the connector panel on the Communicator.
1.7.3 Radio Communications Reliability
Radio systems are vulnerable to interference, resulting in delays between the
dynamometer scale and remote. In some instances of interference, the display shown
on the remote may be several seconds old. This can result in a hazardous situation
when the system is used as the reference for acceptable loads in cases such as proof
loading and monitoring of binding or overload. In these applications where timely
updates are critical, a communication cable should be used to physically connect the
EDxtreme and Communicator remote (see setup of RS-485 communications).
Alternately, the EDxtreme display can be observed directly.
WARNING: Low power radio systems should not be used in applications where
timely updates of readings are required for safety purposes.
